Teas are the gentle, natural, most beneficial way to absorb the healing properties of herbs--easily and inexpensively. A simple cup of tea not only has the power to soothe and relax but to deliver healing herbal agents to the bloodstream more quickly than capsules, tinctures, or infusions. &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp

Bigelow Fruit & Almond Herbal
Tea Review

Summary : Who would've thought - a Almond Tea from
Bigelow that I would actually like. But I did. And if you like almonds
or amaretto, you'll like this tea too.

Review : I'm not a boozer, although from time to time
I make a feeble attempt to become one. See, I hate beer. But...I have
a weakness for mixed drinks. And top among my favorite mixed drinks are
drinks with Amaretto in them, such as Amaretto and Seven, or Amaretto
and Sour (the good sour, not the junk!). Indeed, the only thing that
prevents me from becoming a "amaretto boozer" is my inability
to afford to buy enough of the stuff.

And so I'm reduced to getting my amaretto fix in other ways. And one
such way is, of course, through tea.

As such, I was quite pleased to open up a sampler box of Bigelow herbal
teas to discover a "Fruit and Almond" tea. And since almonds
= amaretto, I really got my hopes up!

Here is what Bigelow says about this tea : "If you like the taste
of almond, you're going to love the tantalizingly delicious flavor of
this herb tea. Lots of almond flavor combined with just the right amount
of fruit, it's an almond lover's delight."

Well, I've been misled enough by Bigelow to not exactly trust their
advertisements anymore. Yet, I was wrong...happily. The smell of tea
out of the foil smelled exactly like what I hoped it would - almond/amaretto!
With just a hint of other stuff thrown in.

And the taste was even more pleasing. This tea comes awfully close to
tasting like a warm mixed drink that has amaretto in it. I know I've
had a mixed drink that tasted almost exactly like this tea did, but for
the life of me, I can't remember what it is.

But regardless, this tea is a rarity among Bigelow
Teas - it's good. No false advertising here. The tea does indeed
taste like Almond - and the taste is also pleasant. I was a bit worried
that the "fruit" part of this tea might overwhelm the almond
taste. But alas, my fears were misplaced. This tea is ulatimately an
almond tea and anyone who likes almond or amaretto should enjoy this
tea.

Recommendation : Absolutely. If you like almonds or
amaretto, you should almost certainly enjoy this tea. Forget about the "fruit" part
of the label - I couldn't taste any fruit at all. Which of course, is
probably good - since I wanted the almond and amaretto taste!
